Driving Question: AsNorth Carolina scientists, can we determine the successful survival of animals in different regions ofNorth Carolina?
Content: -Science Standard: 4.L.1: Understand the effects of environmental changes,
adaptations and behaviors that enable animals (including humans) to survive in
changing habitats.
-Social Studies Standard: 4.G.1.3: Exemplify the interactions of various peoples, places and cultures in terms of adaptation and modification of the environment.
